>Wow. What kind of hubris could look past that huge red flag?
The "bad-boy" disruptive innovator kind that doesn't play by the rules and that's worshiped in SV because he makes his wealth playing fast and loose around old stuffy bureaucratic regulations made by "evil old men" to gatekeep innovators like him from entering the naval market held by centuries year old corporations who actually know what they're doing.
The problem for him was that, unlike consumer tech, the laws of physics can't be disrupted. He'd tell you that himself if he'd still be alive. Shame that four other people had to perish to prove him wrong.
- JKCalhoun 3y ago> that's worshiped in SV No need to generalize. (In fact as I understood it he haunted the Pacific Northwest.)
- hef19898 3y agoWell, as the first video in the submitted article points out, this move fast and braek things attitude, safety and professional standards be damned, is infecting the real world now. Besides my utter disdain for hype, that is the main problem I have with Musk, for me he is the main culprit in normalizing those otherwise unacceptable practices. I hope it changes, bacause as we have seen it kills people, litterally. Titan was actually worse than Titanic, because the engineering of Titanic was actually sound for the time, saftey procedures and seamanship were not. The latter changed significantly after the Titanic, lets hope that this SV stained engineering culture will, too, after Titan.

- mrcwinn 3y agoThis is a dead person who isn’t here to defend himself. I am certain that if he had a chance to reclaim life and correct a mistake, he would. As in airplane accidents, though it is sometimes hubris or poor communication, it is more often a chain of incorrect decisions that were at the time rationalized as safe. Nobody is trying to die.
- hef19898 3y agoWell, Korean Air got a lot of flag, including dead air crews, after bad cockpit management let to hull losses. And OceanGate did fire people voicing concerns. They did ignore warnings from a lot experts. And Rush was actually proud of breaking rules and established design principles. He also decided to not certify Titan before taking paying passengers to the Titanic.

Instead he thought savings of 150K warranted to risk his young son to play along his stupid game of death for a stupid prize of sudden permanent blackout. He won.
